Roy Jones Jr: "Calzaghe Fight, Two Titles on November 8"

[THE REED]

Thanks Silencers, I appreciate this... Shows confidence in Roy thinking he can definitely win... if he wasnt confident... paying more sanctioning fees wouldnt make any sense. ESPECIALLY FOR ROY

[Dan...]

and roy wont struggle? 2 months shy of 40? hasnt made 168 in 10 years when Joe just made it, what 7-8 months ago?

Roy is a machine. He could probably make it if you gave him a week. From what Calzaghe has said recently over his problems making 168 I don't think he is going to go for it.

The titles mean pretty much nothing anyway. This is about ROy showing he can come back from the nightmare **** he endured and beat a top level elite fighter. That is what is important. The titles are a secondary consideration.

No the titles are a legacy... The titles are unbelievably important... He has said it himself on the 90 minute don king countdown to trinidad jones... discussing calzaghe...

"Not only would I be the only MW in 106 yrs to capture a HW title... but the ONLY, and I mean ONLY, fight EVER, to come from HW and capture a SMW title"

This is for legacy.

So basically he is going to do a Sugar Ray Leonard.

No problem.

Jones is definitely confident of winning, he wouldn't be saying these things if he wasn't.

If Calzaghe says he can make 168 for Pavlik, I think he would be able to make 168 for Jones given the extra 7 weeks, it would also make the fight bigger because there's never been a guy who's moved up from middleweight up to heavyweight winning titles along the way then moving back down to super middleweight and winning a title there, not just winning a title but beating the man at 168 and 175.

That may be the case for Roy but I am talking about my perception of the fight. I couldn't care less if it was a non-title fight. The bottom line is it is Roy trying to come back from oblivian to beat the world's #2 p4p fighter.

“It sounds to me as though Joe has a normal and usual injury. He had shown some concern recently about his hand not being ready. I still wanted to move forward with the September date, since HBO had already laid out the red carpet for a pay-per-view success when we took the De La Hoya-Mayweather date. But I don’t want him to be no less that his best – so if this is what it takes for that, then so be it.” [details]

cotdayum, lets go roy!!!!!!!!

[TheWire]

Exactly 5 years after the first Tarver fight and 12 years since Roy fought at super middleweight. Roy would become super middleweight and light heavyweight champ again, 2 months shy of turning 40. Then hopefully retire on top, that would certainly add a great amount to his legacy.

tipps
